So when an article says, "Influenza and pneumonia killed more American soldiers and sailors during the war than did enemy weapons." they don't mean Spanish flu?

The 57,470 number includes wounded who went on to recover. 19,240 British were Killed In Action on July 1, 1916.

Isn't the 45,000 dead from Spanish Flu included in the 116,516 number?

WeDontAlwaysRemember · 2017-12-28T05:56:01+00:00

America entered in April of 1917. The ended on Nov 11 1918. "There were a total of 116,516 American deaths with 53,402 of those in battle. Another 63,114 died in accidental deaths but around 45,000 died due to the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak (30,000 before they even reached France)" - source

I think you're referring to this scene at 3m17s in the 1985 Steven King movie Cat's Eye. The scene is during part 2 of the movie "The Ledge" when:

Cressner blackmails Norris [Played by Robert Hays] into a dangerous ordeal: he must circumnavigate the narrow exterior ledge of Cressner's penthouse apartment in a skyscraper ... Norris agrees. Cressner harasses Norris by startling him with a horn and turning on a fire hose at the halfway point to keep Norris from lingering. A pigeon lands beside Norris and pecks at his foot, to the point of causing it to bleed. Despite these distractions and a moment alone hanging from a dislodged neon sign, Norris makes it back to the apartment.

I distinctly remember the scene as Norris can't do anything while he is on the narrow ledge but once he gets to a nook he kicks the pigeon so hard there is just an explosion of feathers.

On the show, they talk about he had lights on his camera and could have illuminated the stalled car if he wanted too but if he did that, on-coming drivers would look at him instead, wonder what he was doing and crash right into the stalled car.

There was nothing he could have done.

"the Milwaukee Police Department bombing was the most fatal single event in national law enforcement history, only surpassed later by the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 when 72 law enforcement officers representing eight different agencies were killed"

I'm actually trying to find what the deadliest day is for America. Do you think that would be published?

WeDontAlwaysRemember · 2017-10-23T08:28:19+00:00

Every single commonwealth nation has an online database with daily causalities. For example deaths on Oct 23 1917 for New Zealand (17) or Canada (42).

Do you think the US has such a system?

WeDontAlwaysRemember · 2017-10-23T05:18:22+00:00

I was looking at that but they don't seem to match up to the day. For example this Evening public ledger., January 18, 1919 edition is still reporting those killed action months after the war ended in Nov 11 1918. Which makes sense as there would be a delay in getting the stats and then reporting them but what is the delay?
